Sorry I didn't see this earlier!

I am actually doing better, but only because I added an extra session and changed how I am doing it. I quit taking the Fenugreek.

I pump one boob when I first get up in the morning at 6am (leave the other one full for him to nurse on, since I'm a one-boob-at-a-time mom). I usually get 4oz since he doesn't eat quite as often in the middle of the night, and just because I have more supply in the morning. I pump again at 10am- both boobs. I get about 6oz (4oz from the 6am boob, 2oz from the 7am nursed boob). I pump again at 1 and usually get 5oz (3oz from the right boob, 2oz from the left....the right has a better supply) and the last time at 4pm, I get about 4oz.

Reid eats 5oz at a time and gets a bottle at 9:30, 1, and 4. Sooo....15oz total when I'm at work. Since adding that 6am pumping session, I get on average an extra 3-4oz every day

Okay, I have to go, I'm running late to leave for my friends wedding, but I'll go into more details for you tomorrow Resi!

Yesterday I started pumping as soon as I get up. Before I leave for work I try to get Oliver to nurse after I take a shower. This morning I pumped as soon as I woke up and then as soon as I got to work. I pumped 4 times at work and then tonight I pumped one breast again. That is 6 times I pumped today! I have to make it work. I think I will be okay if I keep up the extra pumping.

Keep up the good work!!

Pumping is such a chore for me, and when I pumped at work on Thursday, in TWO SESSIONS pumping both breasts I only got less than 4oz total. THAT has never happened to me before and I really hope I don't have to add more pumping in, though Ben eats only 4oz bottles at daycare and has never taken more than 2 in a day while he's there (on my long days I go nurse him on my lunch break).

I feel your pain. Ive never been able to make much. I have not that much in my stash and have been breaking into it everyday too. I stopped taking fenu greek a few weeks ago and totally felt the difference. I now started it again cause my supply dropped.

Cambria gets 5 bottles a day. 4 5OZ bottles and one 7 Oz about 3 hours before bed. I Usually nurse her once during the night. You can try oatmeal as well, Im on that everyday too.
